Tim Duckett
CTO at INSRD
Berlin, Germany
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTim Duckett is a product-focused CTO and hands-on software engineer with around 15 years of senior experience and two decades of practical development and leadership across startups, consultancies and venture studios. He blends deep full‑stack technical chops—Typescript/Node, cloud (AWS/Azure), microservices, APIs and modern ML/AI frameworks—with a disciplined, test-first delivery mindset and a track record of shipping resilient, continuously-deployed systems. Tim repeatedly scales and turns around engineering organisations, hiring and mentoring distributed, multicultural teams while also stepping in as interim CTO to get new ventures off the ground. He pairs that engineering rigour with product instinct and board-level fluency (MBA), comfortable both in the codebase and the C-suite, and has written two Apress books on iOS development. Notably he has rescued large legacy platforms into cloud-native services (transitioning hundreds of thousands of users and hundreds of millions of records) and prefers strategic, product-aligned engagements over any form of staff augmentation. Based in Berlin, he speaks fluent English and improving German, and enjoys speaking at industry conferences and teaching practical development skills.
